​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​About the Tour

The Junior Tour is designed to create a competitive tournament atmosphere locally for the junior golfers in the area. No longer will you have to travel out of town to compete!

The cost per player is $75, which includes a bag tag and towel for juniors ages 10-17. Registration will only be taken online in the Golf Wichita Web Store.​ Age divisions will be utilized to make for a fair playing field, assignment to a division will be determined based on the players age at enrollment. The Junior Tour will consist of 7 tournaments each held on a Sunday. Sta​rting tee times will vary week to week, refer to the schedule below. Each week players will pay a $10 green fee to play in the tournament, players are not required to play every week but are encouraged to do so to help increase their points for the Wichita Junior Cup.

After the sixth week, the Tournament Committee will add players to the championship tournament, the Wichita Junior Cup based on points until each age division is filled. The Wichita Junior Cup will be held at Auburn Hills Golf Course for the boys and Arthur B. Sim Golf Course for the girls. A catered lunch will be offered to all participants. The winning junior will receive the Junior Cup trophy for their age division!

Junior Tour tournament points will be awarded to the Top 10 finishers and ties in each age and division. The following is a breakdown of the point distribution for each tournament. Participants that place below the Top 10 will be awarded 1 point.

Each Monday, players will be emailed, asking if they will be playing in next Sunday's tournament. Players will play the $10 fee at check-in day of tournament. Any player wanting to pay the tournament cost in advance will be sold a Wichita Public Golf Courses gift card with the desired amount, the gift card can be used at check-in of each tournament.

Spectator Rules

Welcome to all the parents and spectators! We are glad to have each of you here to watch the players. While you are watching, we ask that you observe the following guidelines. These guidelines are being provided to ensure consistency in all Junior Tour golf tournaments.

Spectators are required to follow golf etiquette at all times. When the player
you are watching finishes a hole, remember that the other players in the group may still be finishing.

Spectators are asked to stay at least 30 yards behind the group they are watching. However, you need to be aware of the group behind you and not slow them down.

Spectators are asked to NOT pick up any golf balls on the course during the tournament. These players are not professionals and the owner of the ball may be several fairways over.

Spectators may not offer any advice to any of the players. This includes not offering your suggestions on the club selection, direction of wind, or possible rulings on a situation. If you are 30 yards behind them, this should not be a problem.

Spectators may help hunt for a lost ball, but may not be in front of the group to watch where their ball lands. (This is called being a fore caddie).

Spectators shall in no instances move a player's bag or ball or offer or provide a ride in a cart during the round of golf. (The player shall be disqualified.)

Spectators shall not be involved in the scoring or the recording of scores for the group. The spectators may keep score but cannot correct or dispute the scores of any of the players of the group.

Spectators may give encouraging remarks such as “nice shot,” “great drive” or “good putt.” Please keep all comments positive and at the appropriate times and for all players in the group.
